While Yamcha is the only Dragon Ball character I know of that likes baseball because he actually is a baseball player who knows how to play the game, if he were an MLB fan, I'd picture him liking the New York Yankees or the Seattle Mariners because of the now-retired Ichiro Suzuki.

But what MLB teams do you think the characters in Dragon Ball would like???

...The ones that start the most fights?
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

I was more into baseball when I was younger so I mostly only remember team names. Based on what the names could represent:

Whis: Los Angeles Angels
Goku (and most martial artists): Atlanta Braves
Vegeta: Kansas City Royals
Shenron: Arizona Diamondbacks
Freeza's army or RR Army: Pittsburgh Pirates
#16: St. Louis Cardinals or Toronto Blue Jays (he likes birds)
#17: Texas Rangers
Beerus, Korin, and Puar: Detroit Tigers (I don't know only feline named team)
Piccolo: Los Angeles...DODGERS

In keeping with his perpetual loser energy Krillin would cheer for the Cubs.

Vegeta cheers for the Washington Baseball Team to stick it to cancel culture but actually hates the sport.

Gohan doesn't root for an individual team but has very strong opinions about the DH and how it ruins the strategy behind the game.

Roshi is probably still ranting about the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn and how it killed the hometown feel of the sport.

Bulma cheers for the Brewers because it's an excuse to drink at the game.

ChiChi roots for the Mets because Ox King took her to a bunch of their games growing up.

Yamcha pulls for the Blue Jays and spends a little too much time trying to justify their poor record by pointing out how much traveling the team needs to do in a season.

#17 roots for the Rangers. #18 roots for whoever the Rangers are playing against.
My opinions suck. You should probably mute me to spare yourself having to see them.

As an ex-mets fan, that is kind of relatable

I think that's most Mets fans. Either you have a strong family association with the team or you immigrated to New York back in '86.

not to be rude but i think you have your wires crossed a little, the nationals don't really have name controversy (besides expos fans maybe), it's the Cleveland Indians who do. Washington Football Team is just that..a football team.

also #16 has gotta be one of the bird teams.

Well, for me it was not the family, it were the school-sponsored ticket sales. Lots of my teachers (lived in queens) are mets fans, so yeah.

That was the joke. Vegeta's jumping on a bandwagon without actually knowing what's going on. :D
